Awesome! Glad to see support for DAAP finally. That's amazing. Maybe I can finally get some form of networked library between my computers...that would be so good.

cellarmation

Having some problems getting this to work. Have tried going to my local ip with daap:// I see the first line saying Libraries: but then i get a popup box saying "Cannot connect to server, Retry?"

I can't see any options to enable disable sharing, or any more detail with the errors. Any ideas what is going wrong?

yngvewb

It’s just great to be able to play my daap library!
This work somehow, but I think I missed an important part. I get up my library name with songs count “libraryname (6700 items)” as in screenshot number 2 here. But when I click on the library, it’s empty, not as in screenshot number 1.

yngvewb

DanielArgentina: Ok, I can wait :-) How long should I expect to wait for about 6700 songs? Songbird doesn't freeze, but I have been waiting for some minutes now.

yngvewb

Thanks, Daniel! Installed the 0.0.2+dev version and restarted songbird, but I still can't see my songs

yngvewb

Tried to reinstall the daap client without any luck

OS: Vista
SB: 1.0.0rc2 Build 842

I don't get any error mesages, and in Tools -> Error Console I couldn't see any errors related to this add-on.

Firefly Client http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=7198 and Fireplay http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=6863 works perfectly with my Daap-installation.

Hi.

I'm using a RaidSonic IB-NAS 4220-B and trying to connect to its built-in Bonjour-Server.

With iTunes -> No Problem @ all
With Rhythmbox (Ubuntu) -> No Problem @ all
With this Plugin -> I get an empty Daap Index

http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=songbirdyfv9.png

maybe I have to connect via an another port?

Hope for help :)

No worries about,

I'm glad, I can halp a developer to make his add-on workin' properly. :)
Atm I've put the RaidSonic music folder into my Mediathek (Collection). But I want to get this DAAP-Thing working,

I've had a look, which Bonjour it uses, but can't find anything.

Thanks for your work, anyways.

fd0

I have installed this add-on and tried it with my 40.000+ library. I do get a connection to the DAAP library that runs firefly mediaserver or mt-daapd, but i don't get an overview of the available songs.
iTunes works like a charm.

Did I do something wrong?

Val

Like the previous version, a blank list is displayed. I'm running firefly and it works perfectly with firefly clients and iTunes. Here's a screenshot of the error console output:

Also, don't let the interface fool you, this is on windows.

Val

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the .xml above can be read by songbird.

Val

Actually, ignore this. I've got a new problem. After loading all ~4500 of my songs, the the songs can't be played. Mediacore complains that it doesn't have the proper URI handler for daap.

Val

Aaaand reinstalling it fixes it. That's strange. Oh well, it works now.

jooray

When I type daap://192.168.1.1/ (192.168.1.1 is my server's IP address), I get the only text that says "Libraries:" and there are no libraries listed.

server-info displays this XML:


<msrv type="0" length="127">omitted</msrv>


Mt-daapd is 0.9~r1696.dfsg-3 (from Debian lenny). Playing from iTunes works.

Any idea what could be wrong?

periferral

DanielArgentina, first of thanks for this addon. It works great with my firefly server.

I have a couple of request/suggestions for future releases

1. Save password. I have a password on my DAAP server and I don't want to enter it everytime I connect to it.

2. Import playlist or better yet let songbird create playlists. I don't know if this is possible but it would be great if I could use smart playlists on songbird to maintain my music on a daap server. This would just be super if it can be done.
However, if not, it would be good to at least support firefly playlists. Looks like you currently don't provide server side playlists.

3. Adding a DAAP entry or similar on the left service panel. Currently i need a new tab to do this. Ideally, have a link on the service menu that would then on the right show the current panel. If you do add playlist support, you can put them under this or if possible use the global playlist to support daap as well.

4. Support album artwork. In my case, I have these on my server. It would be good to get these from the server or even pick it up from amazon for missing ones. Once you have the artwork, display it in the now playing section

thanks much for this plugin and I appreciate you hard work

periferral

hey DanielArgentina. I also noticed a couple of possible bugs or maybe no implementation yet

1. Genre. You dont seem to be picking these up from ID3's
2. Track numbers. Same.

simong

Importing is slow is not the word! It's taken thirteen hours to get 90% of the way through a 14000 song database. The point of a DAAP server is that it presents the song metadata and the client streams the music files from it. Rhythmbox does this so I have no idea what you're trying to store in the library.

Jonnyspeed

This is a step forward. This is the functionality that stops me using Songbird. However, this stil doesn't help me. I work with 10-15 other people dynamicaly sharing their libraries on ITunes. The lack of automatic find amd the need for IP addresses is not going to get me to move fro iTunes.

periferral

DanielArgentina. Thanks for your response. I look forward to your next release.

One other thing I'd like to point out. When downloading from a remote server using your plugin, the connection to download around 1700 songs took 100sec/0.06.

I tried the same thing using FireflyClient (a java client) and it took no under 20 seconds to load the same list from the remote site.

This seems like quite a concern because people with a lot more music (Ive seen people avg around 15,000 songs) will have an incredibly long wait time.

In addition to downloading faster, you should probably consider using a local cache as well. If nothing on the server has changed, it does not make sense to download the entire list all over.

Harbinger

Excellent start, I agree with periferral regarding a local cache. Thanks much for your efforts!

jakswa

excellent! it seems to work.

my only gripe so far is it is taking forever to import my 7000 song library. Rhythmbox imported it almost instantly. Any specific reason for the difference?

StephenA

Daniel

I think that you have to look at the "import" situation. As others have said Rhythmbox can import a huge library in seconds and to be honest the other DAAP plugin does it much faster (but has its own problems).

It does seem silly to have two DAAP plugins which both offer partial functionality and have huge problems/feature holes.

pooch

Keep up the good work. I hope you'll be able to solve the importing speed issue. Thanks a lot!

skootles

Agreed, keep up the good work. I've noticed a bug. When you double-click on any artist in the artist column at the top, it doesn't start playing the first song by that artist, it plays the first song by the first artist in the list.

As well, the

And just to add a feature request;

I tried the other DAAP Client plugin, but I went back to yours as the other one doesn't work with the lyrics plugin. One thing I did like about the other one however was the "Shared" list it created in the left-hand column. It resembles the one in iTunes, and it's handy having it there instead of having to open a new tab.

As well, I'm not sure if this would be on your end or not, but if you could look into getting this to work with the Concerts plugin, that'd be sick.

esurfer

hi i received an error "Cannot coinnect to server, probably too much users connected, Retry". but there is only me trying to connect.

The bottom of the status bar read "DAAP CLIENT Login failed"

using rythmbox connecting to the same server has no problem.

any clue?

jonthegeek

I'm getting an error message when I try to connect to any iTunes libraries: "Unsupported daap protocol version." I'm using the latest version of the addon.

CVertex

I just installed this add-on and I see nothing.

I followed the instructions exactly (and rebooted twice). I've rebooted my several times too and the shared folder still doesn't appear. :(

Any advice?

karye

Hi!

Can't get it to work for me :-(

Installed version 0.0.4 in Songbird 1.0 and get these errors twice:

karye

Hi again!

Here's a full log from the firefly server which seems to indicate that the database is sent to the plugin: http://pastebin.se/196703

Cheers!

karye

Great :-D
The whole database is downloaded into Songbird but I'm not able to play songs.

The error says:
Error: GStreamer error: Inget URI-handtag implementerat för "daap". Additional information: gsturidecodebin.c(828): gen_source_element (): /player/uridecodebin1

.. and a merry X-mas!

karye

Would it be possible to enter manually the daap server url?
I have friends on the other side of the town whom I want to share with.

Thanks!

karye

Now playing musik works :-)
Deleting .songbird2 directory and reinstalling the plugin with restarts was needed!

Still an input for the server url would very nice.

chadm

From songbird on Mac OSX and v0.1.0 of this plugin, to mt-daapd on linux:

Sync takes far far too long. itunes seems nearly instantaneous. This plugin takes several minutes. I would guess you're using a O(n) operation, when there's a O(1) available that itunes uses.

chadm

From songbird on Mac OSX and v0.1.0 of this plugin, to mt-daapd on linux:

It should always start with cached information and display it immediately, and then begin importing, adding new items as they're found. Invalidate+remove items that the player tries to use and cannot reach, or are not found at the end of importing.

Additionally, you can improve the UI by removing something. We don't care about importing -- that should be transparent to all users, and the import progress bar is interesting and useful only to a developer.

chadm

From songbird on Mac OSX and v0.1.0 of this plugin, to mt-daapd on linux:

Perhaps additional to the caching above, but perhaps not: Don't throw away information about the imported list, during the course of songbird running. If I click away to play some streaming playlist outside DAAP and then come back, I shouldn't be re-downloading the entire music list from my DAAP server. It's only been 30 seconds; I'm quite certain there's nothing new to do.

karye

It would be nice with an option in Preferences dialog to enter a default server.
Have you thought about saving back playlist as there seems to be ready tables for that?

karye

I meant saving playlists onto the server.

bkuhn

Overall, a great and very useful plugin!

Is there a manual "refresh library" option? Not a big deal, but I was trying to set up mt-daapd and it would have been quite useful.

Also, I sometimes have skipping problems, which seems to be mostly happening when I try and do a large GUI operation - switch tabs, etc. I don't know if this is a problem with the addon or with Songbird itself, but it doesn't happen in iTunes 4.8.

Thanks for your work!

eschoeller

Hi. Thanks for this add-on. I have been waiting 2 years for this. I am running the latest stable version of Songbird (1.0.0-860_linux-i686) and I am running into some trouble. Auto discovery works, I see all the music from my shares too. When I try to play a song I receive:

Songbird has encountered the following media core error:
"No URI handler implemented for "daap"

Pressing "Continue" doesn't help.

I am running an x86_64 system, and it does not appear that this add-on supports that architecture - so I'm using the 32bit version - I am not sure if that is part of the problem, however I am able to play the same shared files directly from disk, and can also listen to shoutcast streams.

I also don't see any of the playlists from the DAAP share (which is running mt-daapd)

Thanks!

eschoeller

Fixed my problem. I removed the "gstreamer-0.10/registry.bin" as suggested and it works. This is fantastic.

Still missing playlists (which are static server-side playlists, not .m3u's, created in mt-daapd) and an x86_64 version.

Great work so far! Do you accept donations?

eschoeller

Here is an odd problem ... I have Nvidia TwinView enabled, running two monitors under KDE4.1 Switching window focus between windows on the same display where songbird is running is not a problem. When I switch window focus to a window on the second display, the audio playback skips briefly. I cannot reproduce the same behavior when playing the same file directly from the songbird library, which suggests it's something to do with the add-on. I don't see any errors in the error log during the skip.

Shaking the mouse violently between songbird and another window on the same display (effectively switching focus very rapidly) causes audio output to drop out completely. Resizing the songbird window also has the same effect. Disabling compositing features does not change the behavior.

Strange eh?

garyaj

Just a note of thanks for this add-on. I'm running Firefly on an old iBook as my music server and listening to those lovely tracks on my MacBook with Songbird+Songbird Daap Client. It simply works, no hassle. Freedom from iTunes at last!

FYI it took 65 seconds to import the 9822 items in my Firefly library.

mikeee

Great! Thank you very much for your work! :-) I did some tests with firefly server. Great.

The only thing i miss is a possibility to sync a part of the share to my ipod. This was already discussed in the other DAAP add-ons thread.

Did you already think about implementing this? And how much expenditure of time do you expect for such an implementation?

periferral

i just tried the 0.1.0 version. i do a daap://url/
i get a prompt for my password. Then I get a message on the status bar saying DAAP CLIENT database list successfully downloaded. On the page I get Libraries: and no libraries are listed.

any clues?

bartvh

Hey Daniel,

Great work on this plugin. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.
I've installed it and it finds and plays from my Firefly server just fine. However, it does this because it detects it's presence.

The most important reason for me to use this plugin is because I want to connect over the internet, where of course auto-detect won't work. How would I go about doing this?

HenningStummer

Just installed Songbird and your DAAP client... freedom from iTunes!!
You did a great work and it works nearly perfectly. "Nearly", because I can't stream the songs I bought in the iTunes store. Is there a way that you'll support the QuickTime Playback plugin?

zim2dive

New user here.. Running Firefly server on my Mac and trying to share my itunes lib to my Linux box (Ubuntu 8.10).

I have install 0.4 of the DAAP client and it found my Firefly.

I get an initial Import Status of 33% in 7 seconds ... and that was 10 minutes ago :) I can sleect a song and try to play it but it fails, with a DAAP protocol

So I quit and restart. this time I get to 50% right away (9 seconds).

I go to play a local file and that works.. I come back to the DAAP server and I have 1000 items, which is only part of the shared library. I see the song list, and I see the song ratings (which is something I have not found any other linux player will do from daap.. KUDOS!), but the songs won't play.. the song name is shown in the player window (with other ID3 info) at the bottom, but never starts.

I see some error messages in the Terminal and notice
ERROR! Could not call boundObserver.observe(). Key = metadata.artist
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [sbIDatabaseQuery.execute]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///home/zimmy/.songbird2/vpjbs829.default/extensions/concerts@songbirdnest.com/components/Songkick.js :: getTourStatus :: line 986" data: no]

so I un-install the concert add-on and I have music!

I do not see my Playlists from the DAAP share?

Also noticing a fair # of hiccups in the music (maybe add a little buffering?) (or do I need to do that somehow on the server side?)

Anyway, many thanks for this! Great work. Hope my debug info above might help others.

zim2dive

sorry I mean to say version 0.1.0 (ie the most current)

Landris

Any chance of getting builds for 64-bit linux?

jigz

i'm using windows xp right now, trying to get songbird to work with my DAAP server. It seeing the server, but when i play any track im getting "No URI handler implemented for "daap". others with the same problem solved it by removing "gstreamer-0.10/registry.bin" however this does not exist on my system. any ideas?? thanks!

Landris

If I just click the install button, it installs version 0.0.3+dev. If I download the 0.1.0 manually and try to add it to Songbird, it tells me it is not compatible with my Songbird build type (Linux_x86_64-gcc3). I'm not sure how I would install a 32-bit version of Songbird on 64-bit Ubuntu.

Couldn't you build and test in a virtualized environment using VirtualBox or other virtualization software? I don't know about other virtualization software, but VirtualBox allows 64-bit guests on 32-bit host operating systems. And it's free.

HenningStummer

Ok, I messed around with .m4p songs (bought from iTunes) ... and I can play them through your DAAP add-on. But I noticed that they don't start by double clicking the title; the editor opens to rename the title instead. Clicking on the play button works, but there's no progress or time displayed while playing the song. But it's not important ... I think I'll convert them into .mp3 files anyway to get rid of the DRM.

But now I have another question/suggestion: I don't know if the DAAP protocol has the abilities, but is there a way to display the album cover? It is stored as "folder.jpg" inside of the album folder.

Keep up your great work! Your add-on makes it easy and very comfortable to play the music everywhere! ;-)

jegel

Hi,
first of all thank u for the job u've done!
next, a question/suggestion: i have a huge rhythmbox shared library and windows client on which i installed songbird (i hate itunes! :P) and the only issue i'm having is when i change some file on the server (any info on the tag): the songbird client apparently doesnt recognize the change (saying DAAP CLIENT server unchanged) and when i try to play certain songs the local db is not in sync w the server one so i get a song for another! i couldnt find a way to fix this. theres no way to force the update of the library and restarting both server and client didnt work. i had to uninstall and re-install the plugin.
i hope this help!

Landris

Thanks, I appreciate it. Without this add-on I just don't use Songbird, which is a pity.

jegel

u mean i should delete a song from the library on the server?
ok, my suggestion for next release is to fix this! :P
thank u!

karye

Hi!

Kudos for a most useful plugin!

I have a feature request: save playlist back to server.

On the Firefly mt-daap server it looks possible to use xml-rpc to store playlist back to the server. See section "Add Playlist" in the documentation here http://wiki.mt-daapd.org/wiki/XML_Client_API

I've looked at your code but would need some guidance on where/how to add this functionality.

henrik

@DanielArgentina
I am looking forward to the release! Could you make it compatible with Songbird 1.1.1a? Please please please with sugar on top?

henrik

@DanielArgentina
1) I tried updating install.rdf to support 1.1.1a, just to check out if it worked. The library loads, but I'm unable to play any songs: Songbird has encountered the following media core error: No URI handler implemented for "daap".

2) Loading my library takes awhile (about 300 seconds), I guess it's because it's fairly large (about 3500 albums) and it's on a remote server. That's OK, but while it loads the Songbird UI is slow and sluggish. Is it possible to do something about that?

jegel

thank u!
do u know of any issue with firefly daap server? i cant see all of my files if i use it (rhythmbox works just fine), or actually it says theres 8800 files that is right, but when i browse the library several artists are missing... is it a firefly problem?
thank u again

HenningStummer

@jegel
I have mt-daap (older firefly version) installed on my NAS, and all songs are available in songbird ... even with german umlauts. Did you try the work around that daniel mentioned above?
If you can identify a few songs that are missing: check the id3 tags and/or the path and file names for any special characters.

@DanielArgentina
Just a quick question: Do you plan to localize (translate) the group name "Shared"?

HenningStummer

Sure! I'd appreciate it if you let me translate your add-on to German.
Guess you need my mail address now: songbird(a)planet-fuh.de

periferral

hi daniel. For my previous, I had to reinstall songbird to get my library working again. I'm really happy with 1.0 and lot of my previous issues have been resolved.
. I see playlist support is your on next release, so yay.
. Album-art would be nice to have. Since DAAP doesnt support it and Songbird doesnt get it from the mp3, it really makes it more work for you. I support adding support for Amazon/Yahoo/Walmart in your plugin is one option but maybe too much work.
. The main defect I see is also the reason I has to reinstall Songbird. I can't remove an added server. It would be essential to do this. Can you please add support for this. Also if there is a workaround, I'd really like to hear it.
. If you add playlist support, can I then create playlists on the songbird side and push that to Firefly? That would be brilliant.

Thanks again for all your effort. I really do appreciate it.

veritasnoctis

When I try to play a song I'm getting a "no URI handler implemented for "daap"" media core error on my Easy Peasy/Ubuntu netbook with this extension, but it works properly on my Windows XP laptop. On both I'm able to log in successfully and download the music library (although it takes a lot longer on the Linux machine). Any ideas?

ilaggoodly

^^ I guess i'm lucky to be one of the first to try, but this release is great, it definitely makes it feature-complete in my eyes... now if only they could change the daap protocol to allow you to edit the metadata :)

Good work!

HenningStummer

Great work, Daniel! I really enjoy this plugin.

evinyatar

Is there any way to manually connect to a daap server? At work I tunnel my firefly server through putty, and the daap client doesn't auto-detect that. I've tried using RendezVous proxy but the firewall installed by my employer blocks that (I could disable it, but I don't think I'd be employed here much longer if I did). Opening daap://localhost just gives me the Firefly admin page.
The other songbird daap client used to work great with this setup, until I updated to Songbird 1.1.1.

chadeldridge

I too am in need of being able to manually connect to the daap since i do virtually the same thing as evinyatar. I will shoot you an email shortly if you want a tester.

chadeldridge

actually i dont see a way to email you .. so just email me if you will:

chad [at] chadeldridge [dot] com

evinyatar

I managed to work around the zeroconf autodetection by editing the chrome/daapclient.jar/content/discover.js file and adding the following to the init() function:

daapLibManager.registerLibrary("Kyros music", "Kyros", "localhost", "3689");

(Replace strings as necessary). It's tricky but it works perfectly. Thanks for the excellent plugin!

chisum

Thanks for providing this Daap client for Songbird. I had no issues with it until I upgraded to Songbird 1.1.1 and 0.2.5 of Songbird Daap Client. After the upgrade by Firefly server no longer appears in the service pane. Songs that I added to playlists can still be played and I have confirmed that they are playing off the server by checking what the server is streaming while a particular song is playing. I've tried doing full uninstalls of both Songbird and the Songbird Daap Client. So the Daap Client is functioning, but I can't view my library via the Daap Client as I had previously been able to do. Any suggestions for how I might fix this would be appreciated.

chisum

Sorry, figured it out. I didn't make the connection with the change in the Release Notes until right after posting my earlier comment. Thanks again for the Daap Client.

Jerome

Tsunade

Once you manage to get it to read the list of songs properly, works fine.
Still, import the same list through Rhymbox don't lead to such an extreme suffering.

veritasnoctis

I tried this:

"NOTE: if anything go wrong and you end up with the "no URI handler implemented for "daap"" media core error, the solution is to close Songbird and delete the file "gstreamer-0.10/registry.bin" from your profile folder."

It didn't work.

I'm running Songbird 1.1.1 on Easy Peasy 1.0/Ubuntu 8.10. I exit Songbird, delete the registry.bin file, restart Songbird and the error remains and the registry.bin file is reformed automatically.

Harbinger

Absolutely stunning, you're making great progress!

fatbozz

hello, it would be great to filter out songs by bitrate. Somebody has low upload speed.

sizzler

Hey,
How can I share my music library on LAN with songbird?
And this DAAP client can't open ituens shared libraries.. its saying that Apple has prevented thried party users from this.. is there anyway to get the itunes shared libraries work on it?

sizzler

I am looking for sharing my library using win xp...

HenningStummer

@sizzler: This is just a "client" add-on, so you can play music which is shared by another DAAP/iTunes server in your network. Apple decided to block all 3rd party software from accessing the iTunes shared library with version 7. If you have iTunes 7 or higher installed, you can't access its library ... try to install an older version of iTunes.

I personally stored and share all my music on a network drive (NAS) where a DAAP-server is installed. That's because I don't want to run one PC just to play music on another...

karye

Excellent!

All playslist on the server shows up :-)

My question is how to save a local playlist back up to the server?
Maybe this can be fixed with two use-cases:
1. Add entry in library context menu "Create Playlist"
2. Be able to drop song items onto the newly created playlist

What do you think DanielArgentina? Does this look like a simple and effective approach?

karye

@DanielArgentina

How can I contact you to discuss implementing the function "uploading a local playlist"?

karye

Ok I've tested to add "Add Playlist" in the library context menu:


    this._commands.appendAction(null,
                          "daap_cmd_add_playlist", //name
                          l10n.GetStringFromName("CmdAddPlaylist"), //label
                          l10n.GetStringFromName("CmdAddPlaylistTooltip"), //tooltip
                          SbDaapLibManager_cmdAddPlaylistExecute ); //callback
    this._commands.setCommandVisibleCallback(null,
                                        "daap_cmd_add_playlist", //command name
                                        SbDaapLibManager_cmdAddPlaylistVisible ); //callback

...

function SbDaapLibManager_cmdAddPlaylistExecute
                    ( aContext, aSubMenuId, aCommandId, aHost)
{
} //cmdAddPlaylist

function SbDaapLibManager_cmdAddPlaylistVisible
                    ( aContext, aSubMenuId, aCommandId, aHost)
{
} //cmdAddPlaylistVisible

I would need a popup window to select between local playlist.
How do I add an entry inte library?

karye

Daniel,

Thanks for your hard work on such a wonderful extension. I have a few comments.

1. the Disc Number field is very useful to me, is there a way to select which attributes are pulled?
2. The tracks are not showing up in the order they would show up on the file system. I wasn't sure if this was a bug or not, but in Rhythmbox the tracks are in the correct order.
3. Have you considered open sourcing this project? Or is it considered open source already? It would be very nice if it were on github so there could be some community involvement.

Thanks,
Patrick

Detects correctly the Daap server in the lan, but when tried to connect to anyone a message displays: Cannot connect to the server: daap://192.168.1.3/

Using Firefly and Twonky. None of them works.

I don't really understand how all this daap works but is it similar to the way i can share my housemates libraries on itunes? I have installed it and restaterd songbird twice but it doesnt pick up my housemates itunes libraries over the local network (i guess that we are connected through a local network as i can share itunes libraries and we share a router).
What is firefly?

jomaweb

Firefly is a media server software. Similar as itunes, windows media connect or Twonky media

I tried this:

"NOTE: if anything go wrong and you end up with the "no URI handler implemented for "daap"" media core error, the solution is to close Songbird and delete the file "gstreamer-0.10/registry.bin" from your profile folder."

It didn't work.

I'm running Songbird 1.1.2 on Easy Peasy 1.1/Ubuntu 8.10. I exit Songbird, delete the registry.bin file, restart Songbird and the error remains.

Nuckinfuts

I really wish this was a client+server addon, otherwise I have no use for it because every computer in my home has Songbird and no other media player.

darioit

Hello Daniel great job with you add-on

I like if you wanna improve the function to see cover even on remote songs when is the pick up the image from the stream itself

Really appreciate

Best

Aggersborg

Humm suddenly my daap in the filesmenu was lost. I reinstalled but no luck. Any other with the same problem - or maybe a solution.

madgabz

Seems, version 1.2 of Songbird breaks DAAP compatibility. Any quickfixes? I'm REALLY digging this AWESOME plugin, delirious from not being able to access my collection at home from work. argh....

madgabz

I might add, i had to degrade to 1.1.2 to get it to work again, not even 1.1.3 versions was worthy of this UBER plugin

ithildin

Hi Daniel,

Kudos for giving DAAP support to Songbird! It's a very welcome feature and nice to see that at least another media player for Windows now supports this protocol (besides iTunes of course).

I have an idea for a novel feature: Simplify Media is a media sharing software that can communicate with iTunes via DAAP so that users can connect to remote libraries or even libraries from other people. As far as I can tell, it works by creating a DAAP mirror locally via a daemon (containing a copy of the media databases of the remote peers) and then tunnels the DAAP requests to the corresponding user. Some media recompression seems to occur at the server end and then the audio gets streamed to the client's media player. It works seamlessly, just like browsing a LAN DAAP share, and significantly expands the functionality of DAAP. I was hoping that Songbird would some day support it coz then I would drop iTunes entirely. Do you reckon your add-on could do it?

madgabz

Daniel, while your at it: please check out this bug, I thought it was a Songbird related thing, but its FireFly related: http://gsfn.us/t/8mhu . FireFly doesn't allow going to next track, nor does it allow searching with the track postion slider.
It ONLY occurs when playing non-mp3 files, eg. flacs etc. Problems w track positioning is perhaps understandable, as Firefly does on-the-fly transcoding, or what? But, surely, it should be able to start streaming next track, when songbird asks for it? Do You have any recommended buffer settings for optimum FireFly playback and use?
Thansk again, Daniel, its still an AWESOME add-on, kudos to You!

jfpinson

Hi Daniel,
I like very much this outstanding feature. I'm using Synology NAS for the library and share it via iTunes/Daap. I'm also keen to get the new version of your daap client supporting SB 1.2.
With older version of SB, 1.1.2, I didn't succeed to see the library via DAAP on MediaFlow add-on. It's maybe working with next version. Moreover, I'm not sure we have right capabilities via Daap, in order for example to edit id3 tags.

Thanks a lot for your work.
J-F.

chadeldridge

Let me know if you want a tester for the upgrade on 1.2.0 The addon is broken for the release.

madgabz

To reply to my own troubles regarding FLAC playback:
it seems, this bug is the same as http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6221 or at least its understandable why daap-client add-on has problems

stn

Hi. I'm also keen on your upgrade to songbird 1.2.0 - using linux, mac and a nas with firefly as server.

kudos, stn

narky

Hello Daniel,

I'm new to this songbird/DAAP business but like jfpinson, I have a synology (101j) device that I'm hoping this plug in will do the trick. (I'm frustrated with iTunes and their lack of support for XP x64).

I eagerly anticipate your update for SB 1.2.0. (I'm getting the compatibility error like the other folk above.)

Regards,
Chris.

dahankzter

Hi!

I can try it in whatever state it is right away since now i cant really get at my firefly share either.

Phat kudos!

hugoh

Thanks for the add-on. In Songbird 1.2, it seems that disc number is not taken into account when sorting tracks. Is this a known issue?

The following seems to hint that it should work, and looking at the source code of DAAP client, it seems like discNumber is populated, so I'm not sure where the problem lies:

Is there any chance of getting this up and working again, I miss my tunes...

endyX11

Thanks for the update! However, I am having issues with this plugin on Fedora 11, x86_64. I am getting the "no uri handler" error no matter how many times i remove the registry.bin file or even create a new profile.
Any suggestions? I know other people have reported similar issues in the comments. Thanks again for the plugin though, I can't wait to be able to fully use it.

narky

hello daniel and all,

Thanks for the update, it's working really well!

For other users:
I have a synology (101j) device, XP x64 and SB 1.2.0.

Hey Daniel,

I've updated both Songbird and this Extension but, the same issue than the previous version.

Thanks for the plugin. With Songbird 1.1.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty and daapclient 0.2.6, I get the infamous "no uri handler" error. With 0.2.7-dev, I get:

Error:
Gstreamer daap protocol handler not found!
Daapclient is disabled.

The error console reports:
[Daap Client] gstreamer registry file deleted

veritasnoctis

Thanks for the dev build! It's the first version in months that has worked on my system (Easy Peasy/Ubuntu). Across two versions of Songbird, I kept getting no uri handler errors. The current stable version just froze Songbird. But the dev build works for the most part. The only problem I have is that the playlists don't work. I get a message saying that the stream can't be decrypted. Not sure if that's an issue with the extension or something else. But I can still play individual artists, albums and songs.

Grasshopper003

Is there a version that is capable of working with a version of iTunes newer than 7.0?

periferral

hi daniel. the plugin is almost perfect now.

I was wondering if
. it would be possible to select the current song from the list, Right now, it seems to select the last selected song. However, the icon of the speaker is on the currently playing song. It would be cool if the current playing song is selected so I know where it is rather than having to find it.

. Support album artwork. Either from yahoo/amazon or from the server.

thanks

Hello,
I have a DAAP share on a Linux (Ubuntu) server using mt-daap. Usually, I connect to it with Rhythmbox or Banshee from an Ubuntu client with no problem.
I've had to set up a PC with Windows (XP SP3) and searched for an available DAAP client on this platform. I found Songbird and installed your plugin.

I have the same problem as people above : reading the share takes a very long time. In fact I first thought the plugin didn't work as it seemed to freeze Songbird. After accessing the share, I let the PC work for some time. I came back to it three hours later and my music collection was loaded (I don't know how long it took to load). Since then, when I launch Songbird and go to my DAAP share, the list of tracks appears immediately but trying to browse through them or play one doesn't work : Songbird is still stuck trying to access information. It takes about 20 minutes for being able to play music... I wonder if it may come from playlists, as they don't appear under the share name before this 20 minutes wait.

I've tried iTunes with the same PC and the DAAP share is accessible ans usable within seconds. :/

fitret

I'm using Firefly Media Server + Songbird in order to stream music. Everything is working great, except that all of my mp3's are missing the "Album Artist" tag. I'm not sure if the issue is on Firefly's side or Songbird's side, so I'm posting in both areas! Has anyone had this issue, and if so, do you know how to fix it? Thanks!

pabloneruda

@fitret, this issue is on Songbird Daap Client add-on side.

Interesting, with Song Notifier add-on (http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/39) in preference, I've checked "Show album art if available" and for some songs served through internet (Firefly Media Server), album art is shown.

robochief

I'm getting the following error when trying to view other's shared iTunes libraries:

"Sorry, Apple has prevented third-party applications from interoperating with iTunes version 7 or later."

Anyone else with the same issue?
Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146
Songbird Daap Client 0.2.6

(Is there any better suited place to post this commentary rather then here in the comments? If so, please let me know!)

Miguel89

where I can get this addon for opensolaris?

HenningStummer

@robochief: This is not an issue of this plugin.
iTunes changed its protocol in version 7 (and later) so NO 3rd party software can access the shared library.

GroundLoop

Anybody know if there is a max size for the database? I have 137,000 songs and firefly builds the database. I can access the 137,000 songs on iTunes. But with Songbird and this DAAP client, the computer CPU usgae goes to %50 and memory continues to rise.

Aggersborg

Any news on when the DAAP plugin for Songbird 1.4.2 is do for release?

mojo2012

Have you tried to manually edit the install.rdf and set the upper version to 1.5.0? This would enable you to install the plugin. It might even work correctly ;-)

HenningStummer

I edited the install.rdf manually, and the add-on still works fine! :-)

eighthave

I tried editing the install.rdf for the 0.2.6 and it didn't work. I just found the 0.2.7+dev and I edited install.rdf there and now it works. Yay! Here's the version I installed:

http://dropbox.at.or.at/dropbox/daapclient-0.2.7+devhcs-macosx-i686.xpi

I just unzipped it in the Terminal using 'unzip', edited install.rdf changing "1.3.0a" to "1.5.0a", then rezipped it like this:

zip -r ../daapclient-0.2.7+devhcs-macosx-i686.xpi chrome components install.rdf jsmodules

mattharrison

Guys have done the same as @eighthave but for the windows version of the plugin and it still works fine

http://rapidshare.com/files/331441769/daapclient-0.2.7_dev-windows-i686-msvc8.xpi

zim2dive

I was also able to get the 27dev version to work, altho I had to include more

zip -r ../daapclient-0.2.7+devhcs-lin32-i686.xpi chrome components install.rdf jsmodules searchplugins/ scripts/ plugins/ chrome.manifest

Running Firefly server on my Mac. Lyrics fetching is working. Album art fetching is not? (I thought this was a default function of Songbird now?)

x-tyler

Our proxy at work requires authentication credentials to access the internet (and actualy i don't know if it's the root cause of the issue I will describe hereafter). When the daap server is added for the first time to Songbird, the tracks cannot be loaded (Loading tracks... remains undefinitly). However, I already took my laptop once back home and loaded all the tracks from there. I could then play them from my workplace. Now I updated songbird to the latest version and had to reinstall the daapclient plugin... the issue is there again. Any chance I will not have to bring my laptop back home at every songbird update? I am kinda lazy :)

Thanks for the great work!

timashkov

the Download button is inactive. what could it mean?
none of two DAAP client add-ons are able to be installed =((((

icculus

Since this refuses to run with Songbird 1.4.3, here's how to fix it until a formal release is ready...

Apparently nothing important to the Daap client changed in 1.4.3, so you just have to change the Add-On so it claims to be compatible.

- Uninstall the current version of Daap Client, restart Songbird.
- Download the 0.2.7+dev for your system from the link on this page.
- Unzip the .xpi file into an empty directory.
- Open install.rdf in a text editor.
- Look for the "maxVersion" part, change the 1.3.0a to 1.4.3
- Rezip the directory into a new .xpi file (I called it 1.2.7+dev2).
- In Songbird, click Tools -> Add-Ons... -> Install, then select your new .xpi file.
- Click through the warnings.
- Restart Songbird.

You should be good to go again. This is working fine talking to a Firefly share here with Songbird 1.4.3, running on x86-64 Linux. It sees the iTunes shares, but of course reports that it can't talk to them, as expected. YMMV.

DanielArgentina: It would be really nice if there were a 0.2.8 that just fixed the maxVersion string while you work on the next big release, so people don't have to go through these steps. Thanks for writing this add-on, I use it all the time!
